Lean production is defined as a method for deducting ‘waste’ (processes that do not add value to the product or service from the costumers perspective) which helps the enterprise to deliver higher quality with lower costs

Andon is a Japanese term which means “signal”, it informs workers if there is any problem within the quality control or production streams. This system was created in the Toyota factories.

Basically, the Andon, (Paper Lamp), gives a visual signal or waning to all workers and users and is useful for various scenarios, not only factory, such as the one shows at the ending of the video.

1. The workers are immediately notified when something goes wrong with the production process, anomalies or any problem with the machinery
2. When there’s a problem, the solution to it will be introduced in a database, so when it happens again the workers already know the solution to it
3. Feedback about the solution or the way the workers handled the problem can be done thanks to the use of the database
4. As the whole organization learns from the miskates done and their solutions, the continuos improvement is done (kaizen)

- There needs to be a rope or a button  that alerts the system that there is a problem.
- There needs to be a rope or cordon in each station to be efficient
- usually with only one or two ropes that indicates one problem will be enough for the system to work properly.

1. As the big companies, such as Toyota, use three or more cords to apply the Andon System, there could be an overload in the database, this makes the line of production stop and delay the delivery of production
2. As there are different points in which the workers can alert their coworkers there’s a problem, there could be a confusion when dealing with the problem
3. A shame the Andon system is supposed to stop the production, companies loose money each time theres a problem.

Andon is an extremely useful method that can benefit not only any production line, but also the customers and the general public. This lean production addon mostly brings benefits to it, such as notifying the workers when anything goes wrong, so they can solve it as soon as possible, avoidingany  delays and further losses. They can also, depending on the system, receive feedback on how the solution was implemented. The only main drawback i can think of is when the system is not when implemented, workers might get confused and execute an incorrect intsntantaneous response and solution, which will inherently generate more expenses to the company. Overall I think it is a great system, and should be implemented in any kind of lean production line.

The Andon system is a very good way to reduce the waste of time and products when a problem or anomaly ocurrs in a line of production, nevertheless, there could be a loss of money when stopping the production to fix the problem. In my opinion the Andon system is effective and helps to mantain the quality and the standardized production as it prevents different issues.

There are many benefits for this type of system, it notifies immediately the workers when and where there’s is a problem , as well as the supervisors can spend less time monitoring all stations. The drawbacks aren’t as much as the benefits. Therefore I personally think that this is a very efficient system for companies like Toyota which has a big assembly line. Also they need that any problem that they have, it needs to be solved as fast as possible, so that it’s doesn’t affect the production.
